Stephen Fry Discusses the Language of Nazi Germany

I just saw this short video about language and how it can be used to coerce people into committing horrible atrocities. It's true that language is a powerful force, and while we should be free to speak, we should also remain aware of the power of the words we use. The old saying that "words will never hurt me" is simply not true.

Also, I think Stephen Fry is a brilliant human being. I just had to say that.
